What is the default size of a Gatekeeper on a PowerMax array1?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Step by Step Comprehensive Detailed

A Gatekeeper in PowerMax is a small, dedicated device used for communication between the storage array and Solutions Enabler (SYMCLI), the command-line management interface. The default size of a Gatekeeper on a PowerMax array is 3 cylinders.

While the size can technically be specified in kilobytes (KB), the traditional and preferred unit for Gatekeeper size is cylinders. This is because cylinders represent a specific number of blocks on the physical disks, and using cylinders helps ensure consistent sizing across different disk types and configurations.

Why other options are incorrect:

A . 3 KB, C. 6 KB: These sizes are too small to be practical for a Gatekeeper.

Ah, the good old days of 6 cylinder Gatekeepers. Those were the times when storage arrays were as big as a house and had their own zip code.

Hmm, the answer must be 3 cylinders. Anything else would be like trying to fit a whale into a swimming pool.

Okay, time to put on my thinking cap. Let's see, 3 cylinders sounds like the right default size for a PowerMax Gatekeeper. Guess I'm not as clueless as I thought!

6 cylinders? What is this, a car engine? I thought we were talking about storage arrays, not automotive parts.
